for the future IL the law Is suffered to continue

of all kinds by the constant blockade OF the

than tho loss inflicted on the public by the

it is really ridiculous to make any plans for
paving tho streets. 1t is, indeed, perfectly
obvious that no corporation ought to be per-
mtted to tear up the public streets for any
purpose; that all pipes should be laid in sub
ways capacious enough to permit OF free en-
trance for repairs as in Paris; that whatever
extra expense is necesstated by such rule
should be put upon the corporations and not
upon the public. These considerations arc
obvious, vet how far we are from the rcaliza-

THE DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION

The Democrats of New-forif, whose repre-
septatiyes meet in convention to-day. are not
feeling well. They realize that their party is
not in a good condition to mako canvass.
Cleveland at Washington and Hill at Albany
have pursued course which has had the
effect of weakening and demoraizing tho
Democracy and disgusting the independent
voters. Besides. in not few counties in the
State the local organizations arc prey to dis
sensions. while, as usual, the "halls' and
other factions into which the metropolitan
Democrats are divided aggravate the situation.
With realizing sense Of the situation. Demo-
Gratis feel more like holding lodge of sorrow
than a convention.
Our dispatches show that the rum power
will be largely represented at Saratoga. either
on the floor or in the gallery Of the convention.
This is as it should be. 1t was rum that
shaped the policy OF the Democratic party in
the last Legislature and Of Democratic Gov
ernor in his action on the reform legislation
OF the winter. 1t is only natural, therefore,
that rum should retain its grip on the party
and make itself felt in the Saratoga dclibera-
tons. Notwithstanding the fact that Democ-
racy stands convicted at the bar Of public
of wholesome and economical government in
its treatment Of the Vedder and the Crosby
bills, it is not unlikely that there will be a
plank in the platform ardcntly commencing
reform. Rum will not object to this piece OF
arrant hypocrisy, and the Democratic managers
may think that by the aid of 1t they can fool
some men who are going 10 the bailot-box In
